Not all gadgets use an MTD. Some use an eMMC, so better take a peek at
/sys/block/.

Android init, which creates the nodes under /dev/, uses /dev/block/.
Usually, one can find devices under /dev/block/platform/*/*, where they
are named after their partition. On some devices, for example, there is
a boot and a recovery partition, which contain an Android image, with a
kernel and initramfs embedded.
After finding out those devices, I usually try something like:
adb dd if=/dev/block/platform/XXXXX/recovery | dd of=recovery
So, I will be dumping the contents from those partitions to a file on my
laptop, which I can look into later.
